No secrets anymore

Suddenly u understand that these secrets r no longer secrets anymore when u hear about them from others.
When u ask the guilty regarding revealing them they either lie that they have not revealed it or offer excuses that sharing with an "x" person who is a trusted one will not do any harm.

Cursed for secrets

I don’t know if it is always true that women cannot keep secrets or I don’t know if it true that they are cursed by Yudhistira for the same. But I do know that there are majority of them who are not able to keep secrets. Perhaps Yudhishtira to blame.
